   Is there some guide that explains the division of responsibilities between different levels of government in the US? I have lived in the US and have always been aware of my lack of knowledge in this area. (In this specific instance I am uns

   IDEs are great but need to work on lowering the bar for writing plugins / extending behavior. Say what you will the bar to make emacs do what you want is significantly lower than writing a plugin for Eclipse / Clion / Visual

   To be honest, there is no compelling alternative out there at the moment. The only possible contenders currently if they are to ever materialize are Google and Microsoft (Companies that have a proven track record of doing both software and

   Yes that was Microsoft all the way into the 2000s. Power users are the canary in the coalmine. Once you lose them they are gone. With power users gone your computing problem devolves to creating common denominator apps / platforms. Lac

    Any estimates on what the economic cost of entry is for developing a competetive browser? As someone who has no background doing web development, would also like to hear from web devs on what proportion of a project is spent building featur

    You have not met Nvidia's marketing department. I hope I am not giving them ideas, but I dont put it past them to specify GHz as number of cores multiplied by the GHz the GPU runs at.

    If you are working on low level code and want to understand how your code behaves on client hardware. Low end chips are the most tricky since their performance profile is markedly different.

    Yes that works very well for x86 (of the intel variety) and for GPUS of the Nvidia variety. For other options there isnt much available. Also if you are developing client side software you notice that most popular CPU sku's for consume

    Hopefully we will see this on a public cloud somewhere. I think there is a great business opportunity for someone to start a commercial hardware lab for developers which gives remote access to new / upcoming hardware. Would gladly pay

    This seems like a big change. I am always curious about what the current state of the art is for modelling second order effects of such a big change. Would appreciate any insights from people who have an insight into decision making at this

    Any thoughts on how to handle parsing for the IDE use case where a document is being edited that might have errors in it. I would usually expect an area around the cursor that is an area that receives edita and hence contains errors. I woul

    Coercing people to provide it drops the signal to noise ratio imo - especially since there is no verification step.

    One of the worst thing Glassdoor did was to make it mandatory for people to give reviews before reading reviews. You can see the low quality reviews people leave as a result of this.

    Could you elaborate the edge cases which fall beyond "almost anything WR will throw at it" ie what are the use cases where you would end up waking the discrete GPU?

    I whole heartedly agree. I would like at least one desktop platform vendor to not start with the defeatist mindset that Web / Mobile won. Desktop is where I do most of my productive work, the basic way I do my work (programming /

    Check out the intel workstations, they have similar ship dates. I believe the delay is because its a custom order.

    Look at the Ryzen 1700X. Its a full fledged 8 core and down to 299 ( https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B06X3W9NGG/55467-20/... ). Dont think Intel has something that comes close to that for comp
